Traditional, lacquer based kintsugi, Step 10, applying gold first time outside

This video has no audio. It shows part of step 10 keshifun gold over red lacquer. The whole process took about 1.5 hours. Things to note. The shape slopes out and the surface tends to swallow the gold. For that reason I used the brush dipped into the powder instead of tapping it onto the surface. If I had tapped the material onto the surface I would have used much more than I ended up using. As much as possible keep the angle of the brush acute so as to not get lacquer onto the bristles.
